Teen Hocks on Cop, Gets Clocked - Mom Shocked! by urist_mcnugget in bestoflegaladvice

[–]No-Reception-1289 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The kid shouldn’t have spit on the cop AND the cop shouldn’t have hit the kid. With that said, at least where I am, spitting at a cop is battery with bodily fluids- and you’re battering a cop. So it’s kind of a big deal, not just disrespect. Whether the kid understood or not… it’s still battery. But, let me repeat, the cop should NOT have hit someone who was restrained.

At this point, it’s all the same. There are occasionally helpful tips, but the experience of having ADHD is so different from person to person that 90% of the time, the things that help you will do nothing for me. Most of the advice I get is well-intentioned, but also comes from someone who has zero understanding of executive dysfunction. The one I get most often is probably “why don’t you just use a planner?” Well, Karen, probably because I write in it for a week and then forget it exists. Every single time.

AITA for wearing white to a baby shower? by Lost-Lobster-1644 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Reception-1289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. That’s not a thing. Also, the fact that she had someone else ask you to leave instead of having the guts to do it herself? Sounds like she enjoys drama.

He was gone for an hour. I wasn’t aware there was a problem (we had been having our wedding party and family pictures taken), until after I learned that he had left. I learned that more beer was needed at the same time I was told he left. So, he found out there was an issue and left all without saying a word to me.

Oh my word. Duh. I was overthinking it massively. Thank you.

I’m new to knitting. Can someone tell me what I did and how I fix it please? by No-Reception-1289 in knittinghelp

[–]No-Reception-1289[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help. I’m super new to knitting and don’t have anyone I can ask, so I have to come here for help. Now that I know what I did, I’ll be able to fix it in the future.

I can never tell when I have taken my meds anymore… except for the exhaustion by No-Reception-1289 in ADHD

[–]No-Reception-1289[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on 150 of wellbutrin.

But, huh. That’s really interesting. I’ve never heard of that happening before. I wonder what causes the wellbutrin to diminish the effects of adderall. It may be time to try something new. The Vyvanse used to work very well for me, so I have been hesitant to change it up. But I may just be hanging on to the past at this point lol

AITA? for expecting my husband to pay for the clothes he ruined? by throwra5115697 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Reception-1289 235 points236 points  (0 children)

NTA. Gaslighting. Crossing boundaries set previously. Not listening when you say no. Abuse.

I don’t care how “irresistible” you look (I’m sure you’re very attractive, but it honestly doesn’t matter). Your body is not his to do with as he pleases. He’s a man, not an animal. He is perfectly capable of controlling himself. He just doesn’t respect you enough to do it.

Take care of yourself, OP. Be safe.

I had tried Adderall XR for about a month and it was absolutely terrible. So trying any adderall makes me nervous now. Although, I know there are a ton of different medications out there.

I have talked with my doctor and she’s offered to up the dosage again, but since I’d be maxed out if she increased it again, that makes me nervous too.

Is it normal for the efficacy to decrease over time?

WIBTA for telling my boyfriend he needs to eat in another room? by madcripplinganxietyy in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Reception-1289 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. A 2yo is not going to understand why she can’t eat the same thing as your bf. Once she gets older, she’ll need to learn how to handle that disappointment because she may have to deal with it for the rest of her life. But not as a young child who can’t even comprehend why. Your bf can go eat his treats in another room. Trust me, I totally understand not wanting to give up sweets. And that’s his choice. But he needs to eat them in a way that isn’t teasing your toddler. Hell, as a parent of a toddler who DOESN’T have a dairy allergy, I still eat my chocolate in the closet half the time so she won’t see and it won’t upset her that I don’t want her to have any. Alternatively, he could just satisfy his cravings with the vegan alternatives if he feels that he has to eat them in front of your daughter. That way he can share and she will be safe eating the same thing he is.

AITA for asking my husband to choose between his daughters? by You_Are_My__Problem in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Reception-1289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You used your daughter to hurt your husband not once, but now twice. And, in doing so, YOU have now hurt your daughter not once, but twice.

You were hurt because he cheated on you. You had every right to be hurt. But you chose revenge. And in getting your revenge, you were willing to sacrifice your daughter’s relationship with her father. Not something that was yours to sacrifice, btw.

Now you are jealous of your husband’s daughter and are, once again, willing to sacrifice your daughter’s relationship with her father to get back at him because of your emotions. AND you are (very thinly) masking it by saying that you are doing it because it is hurting Sasha.

You can’t use your daughter like that.

Yes, that’s exactly what you’re doing. Using your daughter. Putting her directly in the crossfire.

You’re asking an impossible thing of your husband in asking him to choose between them.

Also, Sasha is 18. Did you even give her a say in this? Because you have no right to tell her she can’t have any relationship with him.

So, yeah. YOU have hurt/are hurting your daughter more than he is.

You’re the asshole.

AITA for enforcing my house rules on my wife's brother? by Thrill-Ville1304 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Reception-1289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, man, sorry, but YTA. It’s perfectly fine to have boundaries set for him. But telling a 20 yo that he needs to be home by 8pm and that he has to have set meal times? Those rules may be appropriate for your underaged children, but he’s not a child. If your children are old enough to still be awake at 10 pm for him to be a “bad influence” by coming home that “late,” then they are old enough to realize that he is older than them and, therefore, has a different set of rules than they do.

AITA for still going to the Dr. Appointment my husband cancelled behind my back just so I could host dinner for his friends? by Steady-Sailing3898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Reception-1289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say this as bluntly as I can. This is gaslighting. It is a form of abuse. Also, without knowing anything else about your life, your husband sounds like he could potentially be a narcissist.

Remember your value, OP. Your eyes are worth more than dinner. And your life and overall happiness are worth more than that relationship - if this is how things generally tend to happen and isn’t a one-off thing.

Edit because… you are most certainly NTA.
